What does this mean?
  • An introducer appointed representative can only pass your details to its principal firm. It cannot recommend products, give financial advice, or arrange deals on its own.
  • S MacDonald Commercial Services Limited (FRN 987256) is listed as an introducer appointed representative, but the register does not show its principal firm here. Check the FCA register before sharing your details.
